Which period of Western art do you like most?Why are you fond of it?
Critical thinking
2. How would you answer the question, “What is art ”
I think that art is anything that someone has created and is beautiful or produces emotion inside us. Art is not just painting and drawing. It can be photography, or cooking, or music, or dancing, or playing a sport. If it is done with skill and moves the viewer, then I think it is art.

My favourite artwork
This painting is an art piece of Impressionism. The focus of the painting is a person. It does not have a detailed record of the scene, but it is full of light, shadow, colour, and life. I guess it was painted by Renoir. During this time, with the invention of photography, he didn’t have to paint what he saw realistically, and could convey his subjective impression. I can feel the inner warmth and humanity from the outer image.
对美的喜爱是品味。对美的创造是艺术。
—— 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
Love of beauty is taste.
The creation of beauty is art.— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art as the creation of beauty is a process which involves a lot of motivation, energy, and effort, and of course, imagination. Having good taste and appreciating art perhaps help one’s ability to create art, and therefore beauty.
